About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life indoors and outdoors as I grew up on what used to be an Amish farm in Pennsylvania. I have experience dog and cat sitting for several breeds. I write full time for the local newspaper, but my schedule of flexible. I love exploring the area and spending time outside. Getting to meet adorable pets while doing that really brightens my day. I meet the pets needs regarding love and attention, food, water and hygiene. I ensure transparency and communication with my clients and engage in conversation to build trust when appropriate.
About: I have been a pet parent to cats and dogs. Love to see all of their personalities. I have had rottweilers and pitbulls. I appreciate the love they have. I work full time but like to stay busy. I have a varied schedule and can help take care of your babies and show them love and affection when you cannot. I have a fenced yard for my pitbulls. They are both strong so we use chest harnesses when walking. They are fed 10 feet apart with zero food aggression.
“Paula is a wonderful dogsitter! We were on vacation and found her on Rover. We contacted her last minute and she was very responsive. Our dog, Willow, has major separation anxiety and she immediately took to Paula and was comfortable with her. Paula is a natural with animals and obviously cares for their happiness and well-being. She was incredibly punctual and took Willow on many walks since it was such fine weather. We came home to a very happy and relaxed puppy! I recommend her completely!”

“I wish I could give her higher than 5 stars. At our first meeting to see if her and my Archer would get along and be friends she was wonderful. She asked questions from me to get an understanding of his care but more importantly she was letting Archer interact with her. I was a bit nervous because he’s still a baby and teething and I was worried about his biting. She was very professional about it. The other main reason why I wanted Kayla to look after him is she is a Vet Tech and I knew if there was any kind of an emergency she would be calm and know exactly what to do. She gave us wonderful picture updates of him playing and snuggling with her and I was so happy he was being a good boy. Kayla is absolutely amazing and I can say with 100% confidence that I will be using her again. I cannot thank Kayla enough for taking such wonderful care of Archer and giving me peace of mind while I was on my trip.”

“Christian is very reliable. My dog was happy and well cared for. I was able to do what I needed to do out of town and not worry about Bode. I definitely will ask him to take care of Bode again in the future. 👍😁”


About: I’m a retired 55‑year‑old who has spent most of my life caring for dogs from wiggly puppies to sweet seniors needing extra support. Before my wife and I began traveling for five years of full‑time in our motorhome with our two small dogs, Sangria and Tequila, our family had Rufus, our golden retriever. He was truly one of the best dogs I’ve ever known. I cared for him from the day we brought him home as a puppy until his passing in 2014, and that experience shaped the way I approach senior care, gentle handling, and understanding a dog’s emotional needs. During our travels across the U.S., we met incredible people and pets, and I learned how to adapt to all kinds of routines, temperaments, and environments. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and now that we’ve settled in Ocean Isle, I’m excited to offer drop‑in pet sitting for families who want someone reliable, patient, and genuinely loving to care for their pets. I treat every dog with the same respect and affection I given our pups and I’m committed to making your pets feel safe, seen, and cared for while you’re away. Now that we’ve settled in Ocean Isle Beach, my schedule is steady and flexible. I’m available most days for drop‑in visits and can work around your pet’s usual feeding and play times. Consistency is important for pets, and I’m able to provide that. Since I provide drop‑in visits only, I care for pets in their own home just like I care for my own. I follow your routine exactly as you outline it, keep your home secure, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m careful with doors, gates, and feeding schedules, and I always leave things tidy and locked up before I go.
“Teresa was great! She really went out of her way to help me when I was in a bind and that's something money can't buy. She's courteous and kind and my Bunnie girl had a great time with her! Sent lots of pictures and was easy to talk to.”

About: Dogs only want to give and receive love. They are, perhaps, Gods greatest creation. I've worked at a Veterinarian office/Doggy Day Care nearly 5 years, caring for all ages and sizes. I volunteer at the Sheriffs Animal Control Shelter in Supply. I believe dogs enrich the lives of the people around them. I've always been able to bond with dogs. A mutual trust has always come easy. They're all beautiful, and people could learn a lot from them. They make me laugh every day. Dogs will always be safe and happy with me watching over them. I wiil provide great companionship and a soft, warm touch while you're away. I guarantee that you will feel completely secure and confident with my abilities to maintain a safe, fun experience for your dog. Having someone you trust to care for your dog is invaluable. I will be that person. We love to be at home. Being on a walk or hanging outside is what we enjoy. I work at a doggy daycare and can fit pet care at home easily. Daily care of our dog is walking, feeding, brushing hair and teeth, love and cuddles, and of course playing games. We love to take our pebbles with us everywhere. We will give the same care to every dog we meet.
About: I am semi-retired with lifelong experience caring for dogs. I provide attentive, loving care, including walks, feeding, companionship and medication when needed. I am extremely reliable. I work part-time (two days a week - two 4 hour shifts). Therefore, I am readily available throughout the week for various pet sitting needs. I plan to take care of the pets in their homes and will make sure that the pets feel very comfortable and loved during my stay.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a pet lizard. Being around animals has always brought me joy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, my goal is to help your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine! It is something that I genuinely love doing and am very passionate about. My schedule is incredibly flexible which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and other care throughout the week as needed. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow their normal routines and pay close attention to their needs so they feel relaxed and at ease. I’m careful during walks and visits, and I always make sure pets are supervised and secure. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners so you feel confident and worry-free while you’re away.
About: I've been caring for my own dogs—an 11-year-old Wheaten Terrier and a 4-year-old mixed breed—for years. I’m experienced in feeding, walking, and playing with them, and I make sure they get the care and attention they need every day. I’ve also helped take care of pets for family and friends, and I truly enjoy making animals feel loved and safe. I’m a Sophomore at Clemson University who is at home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule for check-ins and walks. This makes it easy for me to spend quality time with your pets throughout the day! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love meeting new friends. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ocean Isle Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
